Scholarship Search Options

CollegeBoard and FastWeb are detailed scholarship search engines that allow you to create a personal profile with information about everything from grades, to special interests to medical conditions. These search engines use this information to find ideal scholarships for you. The search engines are not perfect; it still takes time to look through the results and decide which scholarships it makes sense to apply for!
